I’m having some bleeding with my pregnancy. I am only about 7 or 8 weeks along. I had to go to the ER Thursday for some testing and today it is even worse so I have an appointment in a few hours for more testing at my doctor’s office. My therapist says that my anxiety over these complications is not OCD; that it is valid concern, especially due to the traumatic complications I had with my first pregnancy. So, since it’s not really OCD related, this might not be the best forum to discuss it, but I am just beside myself waiting for the appointment and wanted to air out my frustration.

Hi everyone I’m new here. I’ve been to hell and back in the last 5 months with my OCD which has affected me with various themes in various ways for since childhood but I’ve only this year discovered I have OCD. I have been suicidal 3 times and very close to ending it all. I have a question for all the parents out there/mums to be suffering with OCD…… I already have a 9 yr old boy and 8 yr old girl and have just found out I’m pregnant again…… I really want to be happy about it but my OCD is determined to make me terrified of having another baby and I am living in fear and dread of changing nappies etc as I know it will start affecting me with POCD type thoughts. I didn’t have OCD anything like as bad as it has been this year when I had my two eldest so never had any issues when they were babies. But I don’t even know how to feel except I am terrified now and very seriously considering abortion just to not go through what the OCD may do to me mentally! Though it would devastate my partner. I have had minimal therapy so far since August but no ERP therapy, I’ve lost faith in therapists as I’m yet to meet one that actually knows what OCD is like for those of us living with it. Is anyone else currently facing this situation with being pregnant or been through/currently going through it? How are you coping? Please don’t give too many details as I am scared of being triggered

hi guys. im really struggling today. i keep feeling movements like fluttering, pulses, twitches, and kick like movements. i had an ultrasound, external and transvaginal, blood test i had a seizure from, and multiple negative urine tests. im freaking out that im pregnant. my bf and i broke up for a period of time and we both slept with other people and im afraid im pregnant and its someone elses baby. i got my ultrasound when i was on a period, if that even was my period, and i dont know if that affects anything. the movements are driving me crazy and i want to rip my skin off, im so scared and panicked. i want to live a happy life with my boyfriend but am so scared that ill have that taken away from me if i pop out with a random baby in july or august. im so terrified. do you all think im pregnant or just being ocd? im about to cry because i just cant do this. im so scared and triggered. i have no one to talk to.

My ocd seems worse (6 weeks pregnant) I’ve developed a lot of health fears and fears of losing the pregnancy etc. Along with my other ocd themes seeming worse atm. Does anyone have advice or help?
